A 45-year-old man died in West Bengal on 3 December morning while he was standing in a queue at a State Bank of India ATM. According to media reports, the man collapsed suddenly and was declared dead when he was taken to the hospital.
But according to some reports, there was a delay in providing help despite several others being there at the queue to withdraw money.
However, according to the doctors at the hospital, Kallol Roy Chowdhury suffered a heart attack and was already dead before he was brought to the hospital. This incident comes just after a day where two more people died near Bandel station, Kolkata around 7:30am.

Soon after the report of the death came in, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again.
